Happy birthday to my family! This crazy, wonderful train ride officially started 23 years ago, with these two babies:
I look a lot different now. My dad took this picture the day before Jay went into brain surgery. Jay was joking that it would be his obituary shot, but it wasn't. We were in my folks' backyard, in front of their apple tree. Those little green apples remind me of my boys, so young then, but growing up quickly.
To celebrate our family birthday, we had spaghetti on china, with sparkling grape juice poured ever so carefully into crystal goblets. It's a tradition to eat something regular on fancy dishes, because our family is a bunch of regular, common, everyday and nothing impressive things, made special by our enduring family ties.
Happy birthday to us, and many more.
